About this Sober House

Alex's House is a men's sober living home in Waseca, Minnesota, in Waseca County, on East Elm Avenue. It operates as a standalone residence, independent of any larger housing company.

A Men's Sober House on East Elm Avenue

Alex's House serves men in recovery on a residential street in Waseca, a small city that anchors the surrounding farm country of south-central Minnesota. A standalone house like this one typically runs on a smaller scale than a multi-home operator, with decisions about admissions and house rules made directly by the person running it.

Recovery Housing Outside the Twin Cities

Most of Minnesota's certified recovery housing sits in the Twin Cities metro or Duluth, which makes a sober house in a smaller city like Waseca a genuinely useful option for someone who wants distance from the environment where their use took hold, or who is returning to family and work in south-central Minnesota.

Waseca as the County Seat

Waseca is the seat of Waseca County, and the surrounding area draws on Mayo Clinic Health System's local presence and the county's human services office for the appointments and case management that recovery in a rural county depends on.

What to Ask Before Applying

Minnesota does not require certification to operate a sober home, so a standalone house is worth evaluating on the same questions certification would otherwise answer: what the weekly fee covers, whether a house manager is on site, how bedrooms are assigned, and how the house handles a relapse. A direct conversation with whoever runs Alex's House should cover all four before move-in.
